This accessible text is designed to help readers help themselves to excel. The content is organized into three parts: (1) A Library of Elementary Functions (Chapters 1–2), (2) Finite Mathematics (Chapters 3–9), and (3) Calculus (Chapters 10–15). The book’s overall approach, refined by the authors’ experience with large sections of college freshmen, addresses the challenges of learning when readers’ prerequisite knowledge varies greatly.

5 out of 5 stars Math book   February 16, 2010

4 out of 5 stars As good as a math textbook can be when you don't open it.   March 9, 2008

I used this textbook in my "business math" course.

The course covered material that I'd already mastered in high school, so I rarely used this book.

When I had to look up a few fuzzy areas, though, it helped me. It did a poor job of explaining Chapter 7, as I recall.



1 out of 5 stars BOOK IS GREAT AMAZON STINKS   October 16, 2009

I ordered 3 books for my MBA and AMAZON managed to lose the package 2x. I will admit the prices were right and spot on. The orginal shipment was lost and I asked for a reshipment. That was sent and lost as well. I recieved the books 2x after both shipments were found. I was meet with excuses such as, I am sorry that person is not here it is the weekend or I am sorry we can not send you another shipment. I told them I did not lose the shipments they did. They did not seem to care. Also after the books finally came I recieved a phone call within 24 hours telling me to send them back or I will be charged. I told them they were lost and I only just got them. This did not seem to phase them.


I am not sure I will use Amazon ever again

I was disappointed with this purchase because I ordered it express because I needed it in a hurry for school, and not everything was included with it.

I ordered this book !2/3 and expected it by 12/26 but it still has not arrived.
somebody took my $77.oo so it is only reasonable to expect to get the book.
I RECEIVED ALL of the other orders by 12/6 adn actually thought I would get the College mathematics for Business, Economics, Life Sciences & social Sciences book sooner too but upon further inquiry I discovered it would not arrived until about 12/6-12/16. it is a no show so far.

Can anyone help me? get the book or get my money back.
